Gabion style wall without boxes - alternative engineering idea

Yep, I started the traditional gabion wall but it is tedious and I thought there must be a better idea. An engineered wall doesn't require all the bulk that a gabion has. They have a toe extending under the backfill so here's a hybrid idea. This project will find its own pace.

Cool. I was hoping I'd see a video where the mesh is a smaller gauge. I have a lot of small rock, almost gravel, I plan to use and the mesh with smaller openings is what I'd need in order to keep the rocks inside the wall. Every other gabion I've seen uses cattle panels or concrete re-mesh, both of which have openings too large for the rocks I have.

Try chicken wire inside cattle panels?

Great info!

I hate when kangaroos jump over my wall.

Do you have an update video or photos of the finished wall?

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

No, but each time I take the tractor up the paddock, I bring back a bucket of rocks. I'm not in a rush.

[@FLATEARTHPERTH]

are your rocks lying around the farm? Could you build all the posts in with wire attached and then use the tractor to drop the rocks in??

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

Rocks are my best crop. Yes but I'll place some larger rocks at the back first as I build it.

What exactly is the old man doing here?

[@michaelscurr9046]

In 12 months it will be sloppy like grandma

An over kill retaining wall, 😂😂

[@lxramirez9788]

Old man has a lot of time on his hands, so he is bored to death.
